The Chief signs off, but he’ll be back for the Fringe at Teviot - Karen Koren
I have been enjoying working with Jack Docherty in The Chief: No Apologies over the last few months but sadly his tour is coming to the end of its Scottish leg with four shows remaining of the twenty-two date run.
There’s still a limited number of tickets available for Stirling (21 May), Helensburgh (28 May), Kirkcaldy (29 May) and Melrose (30 May).
The shows have been very well received across the country with standing ovations and glowing reviews. Jack Docherty has been praised for his sharp satire, describing the show as “refreshingly ridiculous”, and The Reviews Hub described the people’s Chief as “Caledonia’s closest equivalent to Alan Partridge”.
The latest accolade to come along for Jack Docherty has been the nomination for two Royal Television Society Scotland Awards in the Best Actor and Best Comedy categories with BBC Scotland’s ‘The Chief’ television series which I’m delighted for him.
Following The Chief’s Scotland tour, the show will be going on to London’s Soho Theatre from the 1-6 June.
It will be interesting to see if the Scots who live in London will come along and enjoy the Chief Cameron Miekelsen’s unique form of humour as much as the Scottish residents do.
Please let all your friends now that he will be down in London in the first week in June.
During this time and while he is finishing off his tour, Jack is writing a brand-new show to be debut at the Gilded Balloon, in August. Entitled Butterfly, it is an honest one man show about Jack the man and about his life now.
Following a number of sell-out years at the festival demonstrating his character comedy prowess, this show is a brand-new hour of hilariously personal comedy from the BAFTA award-winning star.
We will be seeing more of Police Chief Cameron Miekelsen on TV in the coming years.
A third series is planned and how can we not revel in his honesty and enjoy Caledonia’s own Alan Partridge the more we get to know him and his delusional baffonery.
But in the meantime come and enjoy the real Jack Docherty as he returns to our fringe home Teviot - our pink hub!
